About

Welcome to the Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club

Since its founding in 1953, the mission of the AHYC has been to attract and bring together dedicated individuals who share a mutual respect for the sea, and to encourage and advance all aspects of boating, yacht racing, and on-water activities, including offering a welcome and safe haven to yachtsmen and yachtswoman who visit the harbor.

Located within the protected Atlantic Highlands Municipal Harbor in Atlantic Highlands, NJ, AHYC maintains the reputation of being a convenient and popular stopover for boaters cruising or in transit as we are close to Sandy Hook and New York Harbor.

Our members and guests enjoy a spectacular view of Sandy Hook Bay and The New York City skyline from our second story club house. The inviting bar is well stocked, and the galley offers varied food menus.

Reviews

Easy in and out -good strong mooring. we didn’t have much interaction with anyone except t get a mooring ball assignment - staff was very helpful in that regard. Was not easy to figure out where to tie up our dinghy

This is a tough one - we really like it here and while we normally anchor out, we’ll usually take a mooring for at least a few nights whenever we pass through.
Good supermarket, liquor stores, hardware store (propane), Library, post office & restaurants all under a mile away!
Great dinghy dock, great launch service and exceptional launch captains - friendly, courteous & professional!
So why 3 stars?
The showers are abysmal!
Now, I normally shower aboard Rocinante, but decided to check them out.
Again, Abysmal!
This is a yacht club, not a public park... Please upgrade your facilities to match the rest of your exceptional service!

Facilities available by key only while launch operates and are poorly laid out. Showers on the hallway to the commodes, rediculous!
Yacht Club has extended a single row string of moorings 200 yards into what used to be anchorage. Message received, $50 per night mooring makes this an as needed stop only. Otherwise a great place for dinner and a few brews. Why do towns have to ruin it for travelers.

Our stay was awesome and the launch driver/check in person was very friendly. One important note: If searching for Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club on Dockwa, it does not appear, under that name, initials, or a search of the area. Strangely after the launch driver told us that they used Dockwa, I searched under "Highlands" and by chance found it??

We had a great stay @ Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club. Excellent tender service and staff. Club has a great view of the harbor and NYC.
Plenty of restaurants and shops near by and supermarket a 15 minute walk away on route 36.
